Romans 9
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
Ta Yesusa sunthan tumu gays; woridotikke; ta wozinaykka xiillo ayana baggara taas marikatees.
2 That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
Taas wozinape kiichontta iitta qofay michay ta wozinan dees.
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
Ta baggara asa gishshi ta qanigetidane Kiristoosape shakistada wora wodhidako dosays.
4 Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
Isttikka Isiraa7eele naytako. Istti Xoossa na gidana mala Xoossa bonchoyne caaqo qaalay ne wogayne Xoossa keeththa woga ufaysi isttasi imetides.
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kase Aawatikka istta bagga Kiristoosa asho baggara istta zeretha zariken qoodetes. Izikka wurisofe bolla gidida medhinas galatetida Xoossa; amin7i. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
Gido attin hessa guussi Xoossa qaalay attides guussu gidena. Isiraa7eelepe yelettiday wuri Isiraa7eele gidenna.
7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Abiramepe yelettidayti izape yelletida gishshi wurikka iza yellista gidetena shin “Ne zerethi Yisaqa bagara xeygistana” geetetida mala hanides.
8 That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
Hessa guussikka Xoossa na geetetidayti istti ashon yellidayta gidetena shin Abirame nayta geetettizayti burope yellistanaytakko.
9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
“Yiza Layth hani wode ta ha simmana; Sarayka nees attuma na yellana” geetetidi izas ufaysa qaalay imettides.
10 And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
Hessa xalalaka gidena. Iribiqa nayti issade nakko. Izikka nu Aawa Yisaqakko.
11 For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand, )
Meniteti yelletidi buro iitta woykko kiya oothontta dishin Xoossa qofay miinana mala
12 Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
Oothon gidontta xeeygidayssafe gidida gishshi “Bayray kaallozas haaristana” geetetidi Iribiqas yootides.
13 As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
Hessikka “Ta Yaqobe dosadis; Eessa ixxadis” geeteti kasse xaafetida mala hanides.
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
Histin nu ha7i ay ginoo? Xoossi besontta ogera maadi erizee? Muleka maadi erena.
15 For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
Xooss Muses “Ta marana koydade marana; Ta Michistana koyza urasikka michistana” gees.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Hessa gish hesikka assi koyda mala gidontta woykko asa daburan gidontta Xoossa maarida mala hanees.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Geesha maxaafey Farone “Ta woliqay ne bolla bistana malane ta sunthi biitta wurisoson yootistana mala ta nena hayssasi denithadis” gees.
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Hessa gish Xooss marana koyzade maares. Iza wozina muumisana koyzade wozana muumises.
19 Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
Intefe isadey “Histin hanoy heyssa mala gidiko nuna hano gakanasi aazas waayisizee? Gaasoykka iza shene digana danida7izay oonee?” gaada oychchontta agaka.
20 O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
Shin Xoossas mallithe zaara immizay ne oonee? “Oothetida miishshi, zaaridi oothidayssa ne tana aazas hayssatho oothadii?” gi erizee?
21 Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Uriqqa medhizadey he uriqafe bagga bonichos bagga qasse coo hiriyso oothosi medhanas iza shene gidenee?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
Xoossikka ba hanqqo besanasine ba wolliqa erisanasi koydi iza hanqqo qoniccisizayta dhayanasi giigetidayta dhayssontta agagikkochii!
23 That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
Koyro bonichos gigisida iza marotetha besizaytas iza bonicho duretethay eretana mala izi oothanaskko.
24 Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
Xeygidadey Ayhudata baggafe xalala gidontta hanko dereza baggafe gidida nunakka ashontta xeygides.
25 As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
Hose7e maxaafan “Ta dere gidontayta tani ta dereta” ga xeygana; “dosetonttayta iistta ta dosetidayta” gada xeygana.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
Qasseka “Inte ta dere dekista geeteti yootteidason henka (Isiti deyo Xoossa nayta) geteti xeygistana.”
27 And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
Isayasaykka Isra7eele nayta gish hizigi yootides “Isra7eele nayta qoday abba acce mala darikokka guuthati xalala attana.
28 For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
Goday ba pirida biitta bolla elle piridana.
29 And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
Hessikka kase Isiyasay “Woga Goday nusu zerethi ashonitako nu sodoma katama malane gamira katama mala nukka dhayanashin” geetetidi kasse Isayasa dunani yootidaysa mala hanides.
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
Histin nu ay giinoo? Amanon bettida xiilloteth demanas hanko dere asay daburontta demides.
31 But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
Gido attin xiillotetha wogaa kaalliza Isiraa7eele nayti demibeytena.
32 Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
Hessi aazas hessaththo hanidee? Istti ammanon gidonta oothon demana kallida gishshikko. Isttikka dhuphe shuchan dhuphetida.
33 As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
Hessikka “Hekko asa dhuphiza shuchu Istta kunidisiza zala xiyone bolla ta wothana, Iazn ammanizadey yelletena” geetetidi kasse geeshsha maxaafan xaafetidayssa mala hanides.
